What I Eat in a Week on Keto

Starting keto can be overwhelming. It was a total reboot of how and what I eat. I will be honest, at first it was challenging, I was hungry and carving all the sugars and carbs. Just push through. Another challenging part of keto was coming up with meals and snacks that not only were delicious but also easy. I am going to show you what I eat in a typical week, on keto you do try to space your meals out. I typically try to not eat for a 12 hour period, so I really do not eat breakfast and try to keep snacking to a minimum. The good thing about keto, is that you stay full longer so not eating as many times a day is not that difficult. If I do eat breakfast it is typically just a couple eggs and bacon or sausage.

  • Dinners 
    • White chicken soup, this dish is SO good and super easy. Chicken, salsa Verde, butter, chicken broth, heavy cream, and cheese! Its that simple! I throw a couple low carb tortillas in the oven and throw them on top for some crunch!
    • No noodle spaghetti, hits the craving! We cook up some zoodles and add them in! This is such an easy meal! Just buy a low sugar sauce, some ground beef and bam!
    • Chicken Salad! 
    • Chicken Nachos with no chips! This has been one of my go to dishes! Just chicken, cheese, salsa, and sour cream. It is so good!
    • Cheese Fries! What?? Yes! Instead of fries I use chicken and it totally hits the craving! I top shredded chicken with cheese and bacon then dip in ranch!
    • Beef & Broccoli. This is probably my favorite meals on keto. We buy beef strips and then cook them in teriyaki and add broccoli. It is terrific. 



  • Snacks
    • Zucchini chips. We love these. I thinly slice zucchini and cover them with butter and parmesan cheese. Bake them till crispy and enjoy!
    • Salads!
    • Parsnip chips and hummus, I buy these from trader joes and they are so GOOD!
    • Cherry berries, just a cherry blend from the frozen aisle. 
    • Chocolate for when you can not kick the craving. I make my own, I use cacao powder, peanut butter, and chocolate almond milk. I put it in a sauce pan and then freeze it. I also use this as a topping on berries some time as well. 

  • EVERYDAY
    • I take supplements and vitamins everyday, if you want that info please let me know
    • I drink tons of water, Zevia, and sugar free juices. 
As I always say, I am no expert! I just love keto and what it has done for me! I am now down 30 pounds since the end of August and do not have any plans of stopping ! Please let me know if you have any questions and what you ate this past week on keto!

If you want some tips on starting keto please check out my blog How I Have Lost 20 Pounds In a Month on Keto. Ever since starting keto I have started cooking and eating at home a lot. I know that for me that was a huge change and it was really hard to know what to buy and cook. For that reason I have decided to share with you all what I buy from the grocery store while on keto. I typically go to Trader Joes once a week and do a big grocery haul from Winco/Walmart once a month. I also buy a few things off Amazon, my link to those are in the top left of my blog. This list is what I use to cook for both my boyfriend and I.  Here is what I buy: TRADER JOES : Frozen Berry Blend & Frozen Strawberries (great for smoothies) $3.49 / $1.99 Parsnip Chips (Very low carb & great sub for chips) $2.99 2 bags of Lettuce ( TJs has the best lettuce ) $1.99 each Organic

How I have Lost Twenty Pounds On Keto

Right after my birthday I decided to start a new diet, KETO! I have done diets in the past, and nothing worked. Counting calories just didn't work for me, it was boring food, I was hungry, and it was not fun. Well, I love KETO! I do what they call lazy keto and eat between 20 - 40 carbs a day. You may be thinking what do carbs matter? Well you see that was my problem too. I did not realize how bad carbs were for me until I stopped eating them and saw the results. I have been eating food I love and have lost 20 pounds in a little over a month. On keto you eat LOW carbs, MODERATE protein, and HIGH fat. Keto is all about limited carbs. These are sugars, breads, pasta, potatoes, most processed foods, and more. It is also important to look at the net carbs of a product, this is the carb count subtracted by the fiber. Carbs do fuel our body, but for most of us we already have excess fuel and should be burning that rather then adding more carbs. Also, are bodies run better on fat are
